Slightly on the smaller side but lovely place. Interestingly the farm shop sold the lavender cake cheaper than in the cafe (to go). Also the cafe closes at 4 instead of 5pm.

Got some lavender plants, but no surprise there because the name 😅. We also bought soap 🧼 with lavender and rosmarin. Some honey 🍯 with lavender and raspberry jam with lavender. Hand lotion and yes , again with labander and some lotion for headache with? BINGO 🤣Labander. We went for a quick meal there too. Food was nice. Big portions. Price hmmm...dunno...bit high, but this day inflation is high so it's ok. Food was nice. I had beef burger. Meat was bit dry, but perfect minimal seasoning. Scampi could have come with some wedge of lemon 🍋. The woman at the till didn't know what is coke...so had to say " coca-cola" then she understood what I want, but there was one more problem. I said twice " no ice",but still got it 🙄. Well in general place is lovely. Especially the lady who was selling the honey, jam, lotion and the plants was very lovely and nice, very helpful. She saw that we had bought a lot of stuff one by one in multiple occasions going there that day so she cought up with us and offered us a bag. 😊

What a beautiful place. Elegantly and thoughtfully decorated - lovely grounds and a big garden to wander around behind the water mill - plus a lovely well thought out restaurant with lots of options and cakes, friendly and well dressed staff and dog friendly seating inside and out 🐾 plus lavender galore and some nice gift shops (dogs not allowed in the main store) 💜 well worth a visit and a delightful coffee/lunch stop and wander

A really lovely place to spend a few hours, start with breakfast or break for lunch. The cafe is very nice. The lavender wasn't in flower as too early in the year. The little shops & plant centre are worth a visit. I'd definitely visit again.
